Allergic granulomatous angiitis (AGA) is a disease entity that was first distinguished from classical polyarteritis nodosa by Churg and Strauss in 1951, and is characterized by the clinical features of allergic rhinitis or bronchial asthma, eosinophilia, and vasculitis. Allergic granulomatous angiitis has been described to mainly involve small vessels. We herein describe a case of Churg-Strauss syndrome which demonstrated the clinical and laboratory findings supporting a diagnosis of AGA and was also associated with the clinical and pathological findings for temporal arteritis, which was characterized by eosinophil infiltration and granuloma formation of the temporal artery (middle-sized vessel).

Dermal fillers such as hyaluronic acid (HA) have been widely used in recent years as a less surgically invasive cosmetic treatment. Although delayed foreign body granuloma may occur as a rare adverse reaction after the procedure, detailed histological reports are still limited. When occurring on the buccal mucosa of the oral cavity, the histopathology may resemble some lesions of minor salivary gland origin due to the material properties of HA.

Classification of fungal rhinosinusitis (FRS) based on histomorphology and clinical presentation aids in early diagnosis and prompt patient management. In this retrospective observational study, clinicopathologic findings in patients diagnosed with fungal rhinosinusitis between January 2019 and December 2021 were evaluated. Clinical and imaging findings were retrieved from hospital records; slides from routine and histochemical studies were reviewed, and the cases were classified into non-invasive [fungal ball (FB) and allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS)] and invasive FRS [acute invasive fungal rhinosinusitis (AIFRS), chronic invasive fungal rhinosinusitis (CIFRS) and chronic invasive granulomatous fungal rhinosinusitis (CGFRS)].

Fungal rhinosinusitis is a broad group of diseases that includes noninvasive and invasive forms with overlapping clinical presentations. While most cases of fungal rhinosinusitis follow an indolent clinical course, surgical pathologists play a crucial role in early identification of life-threating subtypes, specifically invasive fungal rhinosinusitis. This review describes fungal infections of the sinonasal tract and their histopathologic mimickers.

This article is an abridged version of the updated AWMF mould guideline "Medical clinical diagnostics in case of indoor mould exposure - Update 2023", presented in July 2023 by the German Society of Hygiene, Environmental Medicine and Preventive Medicine (Gesellschaft für Hygiene, Umweltmedizin und Präventivmedizin, GHUP), in collaboration with German and Austrian scientific medical societies, and experts. Indoor mould growth is a potential health risk, even if a quantitative and/or causal relationship between the occurrence of individual mould species and health problems has yet to be established. There is no evidence for a causal relationship between moisture/mould damage and human diseases, mainly because of the ubiquitous presence of fungi and hitherto inadequate diagnostic methods.

Article Synopsis
- * Fungal sinusitis is divided into invasive and noninvasive types, with CT being better for spotting bony damage and MRI more effective for assessing soft tissue involvement.
- * Early detection of invasive cases, especially in immunocompromised patients, is crucial for effective treatment, with specific radiologic signs aiding in diagnosis.
